Florian Sotoca, the RC Lens striker, scored against Manchester United with a sumptuous lob on Saturday at Old Trafford.

Traveling to Old Trafford for a final warm-up match against Manchester United on Saturday afternoon, RC Lens opened the scoring in the 23rd minute with an exceptional goal.

Florian Sotoca took advantage of a bad pass from Diogo Dalot for Raphaël Varane to hit the ball directly from the center circle. A perfect shot that deceived André Onana.

The generous Sang et Or striker, 32, remains on a good season with 7 goals and 9 assists in 38 Ligue 1 matches, fully participating in the journey to 2nd place in the formation led by Franck Haise.
